About this title

Synopsis

Based on the highly successful Pocket Guide to Flags of the World, this comprehensive inventory features the flags of more than 220 countries and territories?25 of them new, including The Isle of Man, Serbia, and Somaliland. For each banner, there’s historical background plus a detailed analysis of its meaning and symbolism; in addition, every national entry includes key data (area, currency, main exports, religion), statistics, and large- and small-scale locator maps. A final section on de facto and emerging states makes this one of the most complete and in-depth flag guides available.
